Gunnar Greve

Greve began his career in the music industry in the mid 1990s, when he established the Norwegian hip hop group Spetakkel. The group went on to release two full-length studio albums and two EP's, before reaching their end. Greve went on to pursue his solo career under the moniker Gest, with the release of his solo-debut I Grevens Tid in 2007.

Since then, Greve has filled numerous roles in the Norwegian music industry, primarily known for representing a number of Norwegian and Swedish artists such as Kaveh, Tommy Tee, Lars Vaular, Vinni and Timbuktu. He has also served as a judge on the Norwegian Idol for five seasons.

In late 2012, Greve founded MER, a full-service music company in which he is the managing partner. The company offers management, booking, promotion and label functions.[1]

In 2015, Greve signed 18 year old artist, DJ and producer Alan Walker to 3MER.[2] Walker released his debut single «Faded» (co-written by Gunnar Greve) in late 2015.[3] The single was certified platinum and gold in a total of 23 countries, and entered the Billboard Hot 100.[4]

In June 2016, Walker released his follow-up single "Sing Me to Sleep" (also co-written by Gunnar Greve).[5] In October 2016, Gunnar Greve signed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing / Stellar Songs Ltd.[6]

Today, Greve works actively as an A&R, manager and songwriter for artists, producers and songwriters such as Alan Walker, Paperboys and Mood Melodies.[7]
